About This Game

Somebody died and nobody knows who they were. You have a cold case file, a head made of clay, and a partner who can only see half of what you can.

JANE DOE is a first-person horror game about putting a face to the unidentified. In coop, one of you is the Investigator, walking the dark rooms of an old precinct and collecting evidence. The other is the Forensic Artist, sitting at a desk and sculpting the victim's face with no files, only your partner's descriptions. The Investigator never sees the head. The Artist never sees the evidence. You talk, you argue, you redo the nose for the fourth time, then you submit and find out how close you got.

Playing alone? One person does both jobs, moving between the desk and the hallways.

WHAT YOU DO

Search crime scenes and locked rooms for skeletal reports, dental records, witness statements and photo fragments. Each kind of evidence unlocks its own group of sliders, so the clues you find decide what the Artist can shape: jaw, nose, eyes, brow, cheeks, ears and signs of age, plus hair.

Solve a case well and you choose one of three rewards: a new tool for the hallways, or a permanent bonus like a bigger pocket or a head start on the next file. A bad match earns nothing, so there are no second chances at the desk.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY

Split screen on one PC, two monitors, or online through Steam. Keyboard, mouse and controllers all work, and every control can be rebound.

MADE FOR STREAMERS

Let chat get involved. Twitch viewers can trigger effects that scramble the sculpt, cut the lights, make the Investigator drop the evidence, or on a good day fix the face for you. Streamers set the cost, cooldown and hotkey for every effect, can turn any of them off, and can pause everything with one key. Tools that can call a local web address, like TikFinity or Crowd Control, can trigger the same effects from TikTok Live.
